Nah, I think Casey's just resting him. I think the quick hook at first was to rest him in case they needed him back against Hibbert, but then the game was clearly out of reach, so he left him on the bench. Not like he put other starters back out there.

How many shots will Anderson put up?
How many shots will the rest of the team put up?

Since Gay left with 8 minutes left:
7 shots for Anderson
4 for Lucas
2 for Acy
1 for Ross
1 for Bargs

Pretty-much the opposite of what it should be, of course: give the rookies some looks, or try to get Bargnani some confidence. Nope, I guess Casey's content to let they guy least likely to be in the long-term plans to just pad his stats.

You seriously can't just blame Casey for the fact that Anderson never looks to pass the ball at all. You can blame him for not taking him out of the game....but not for the shots that happen.

*Say, he could've put Telfair and Fields in with the rooks and Bargs...that would've made sense. If Anderson and Lucas are in the game though, they are always going to dominate the shot attempts...it's so fucking frustrating.

Raps lost that game in the 3rd when Casey starts making some questionable substitutions. Gray pretty played the entire 3rd for reasons only Casey knows. JV was playing so well. Bargnani played a great game(for him it qualifies as a great game) but he was awful. 25+mins 8pts 0rbs 0ast LOL. Again, not sure why he played that many mins.

Last 5mins of the game. Bargnani, Acy, AA, Lucas, Ross. Bargnani didn't even get any touches offensively. Which to me doesn't make sense because its a perfect time to get Bargnani going. Instead Alan "Kobe" Anderson starts chucking shots.

True! Fields and Telfair would have been exactly the right guys. With us approaching garbage time of the season (not quite, but a few more losses and it will be) Casey needs to figure out how to best use the remaining games to develop the rookies and get everyone on the same page for next year.
